I'm a totally newbie within linux (programs - how to navigate through folders and so on - and commands as well - ...) - but I think linux is very interesting as well.

I have now made a virtually machine with Oracle and have success with my HP printer.

I have tried to find out how to play DVD which are encrypted (I think). Without success I have tried to use 'libdvdread4.2.0' because my thought was that this might be a possible missing.

But honestly - I don't know how to start downloading the right free software for decrypting DVDs in Ubuntu Linux - and to make the install of the software. And I dont know how to search for the right software.

So I will be really glad if someone can help the totally newbie.

My system is Ubuntu "12.04.2 Alternate 64bit Danish".

you have to install a package named as libdvdcss2. open your terminal with CTRL+ALT+T and type as 

sudo apt-get install libdvdread4

Then again in the terminal 

sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

Then restart your system to apply the changes.

You must read this & credit too

Legal Warning: Check with your local laws to make sure usage of libdvdcss2 would be legal in your area.

You will likely need to sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 then sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh some users will need to restart.

I like using the VLC media player, this may work for you.
